A PEP 517 backend for PDM that supports PEP 621 metadata

Project description

PDM-PEP517

Yet another PEP 517 backend.

PyPI Tests pre-commit.ci status pdm-managed

This is the backend for PDM projects, while you can also use it alone. It reads the metadata of PEP 621 format and coverts it to Core metadata.

Use as PEP 517 build backend

Edit your pyproject.toml as follows:

[build-system]
requires = ["pdm-pep517"]
build-backend = "pdm.pep517.api"

Tool specific settings

Besides of the standard fields specified in PEP 621, PDM-PEP517 honors some other settings to change the build behavior. They should be defined under [tool.pdm] table:

[tool.pdm]
package-dir = "src"  # Similar to setuptools package_dir option
includes = []        # File patterns to include, the paths are relative to the project root.
excludes = []        # File patterns to exclude, the paths are relative to the project root.
source-includes = [] # File patterns to include in source distribution and exclude in wheel distribution

You don't have to specify all of them, PDM-PEP517 can also derive these fields smartly, based on some best practices of Python packaging.

Supported config settings

pdm-pep517 allows passing config_settings to modify the build behavior. It use the same option convention as python setup.py bdist_wheel.

--python-tag
    Override the python implementation compatibility tag(e.g. cp37, py3, pp3)
--py-limited-api
    Python tag (cp32|cp33|cpNN) for abi3 wheel tag
--plat-name
    Override the platform name(e.g. win_amd64, manylinux2010_x86_64)

For example, you can supply these options with build:

python -m build --sdist --wheel --outdir dist/ --config-setting="--python-tag=cp37" --config-setting="--plat-name=win_amd64"

pip doesn't support passing config_settings yet, please stick to build as the recommended frontend.

Support PEP 660 for setuptools backend

If your project need to support editable wheel build(PEP 660) and is backed by setuptools, you can write the following in pyproject.toml:

[build-system]
requires = ["pdm-pep517[setuptools]"]
build-backend = "pdm.pep517.setuptools"

PDM will infer the backend correctly so you don't need to do it.
